109-year-old woman prefers sweets to men

109-year-old British lady, Nellie Wright, has credited her longevity to her love of sweets over men.

The never-been-married centenarian told Yorkshire Post, “I’ve stayed away from men all my life.”

She added, “That’s my secret, no men. And living off Jelly Babies – I eat a packet a day.”

At her 109th birthday party, she told her guests it was “marvellous” that she had lived this long and that she’s had a “wonderful life”.

As part of her birthday presents, which included a few Jelly Babies, Wright also received a special message from the Queen.
